Kale is high in fiber, phytochemicals, and protein. It helps reduce cholesterol and prevents breast, ovarian, colon, bladder, and prostate cancers. Due to the presence of kaempferol and quercetin, kale is a superb antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It has also been found to help in the reduction of body fat and the maintenance of good cardiovascular health (18).

Weigh Yourself Consistently:Even if losing fat (not weight) is your #1 goal, you should still weigh yourself at least every 3 days.It will give you a great indication whether your diet & exercise plan is working for you.Most belly fat loss transformations go hand-in-hand with a reduction in weight.If the scale is not dropping, something needs to change.
So don’t do that. The Zero Belly Cleanse, from my book Zero Belly Diet, provides fast weight loss while avoiding the yo-yo pitfall. First, it reduces your calorie intake slightly, without radically altering the way you eat. There’s no sudden, dramatic food restriction, just a smart 7-day dining plan. Second, it incorporates short bouts of mild exercise to up your metabolic burn, without forcing you into intense, hard-to-stick-to workouts. And third, it keeps your body fueled with clean, powerful, high-nutrient foods that will boost your health while targeting unhealthy belly fat.
Here is the most complete detox agent in the world; however, there is one caveat. This one is not necessarily water. Unlike all of the other entries on this list, the last slot is occupied by a bona fide juice. Part of the reason for this listing is the fact that no one can abide by water 100% of the time. If a relapse is going to occur, it better at least be done right. When a fuller drink is needed, connoisseurs always have this magnificent potion on hand. Its smooth texture stems from nectarines, pears, honeydew and carrots. Beneficial agents include carrots, celery, lemon and ginger.
To get flatter abs in your 50s and beyond, Murphy suggests skipping the CrossFit or SoulCycle classes: Even though these activities burn a lot of calories, they're so intense that they can prompt your body to make more cortisol. Instead, he advises walking while holding hand weights and keeping your heart rate between 90 to 110. That type of more moderate exercise will help you torch belly fat without kicking up the cortisol.
I'm on day 3 of the cleanse. So far I haven't lost any weight or inches but my energy levels are great, and have been since day 1! I'm not dealing with too much hungry either. As far as the book itself goes, you may or may not find it helpful. There is a lot of information about tea and if you want help with your recipes then this book is great! However, if you just want to do the cleanse and don't really care about the info behind it then I would suggest skipping the book and just ordering the teas. I used theteaspot.com 😄

You have surely heard of (or experienced for yourself) the wonderful benefits of aloe. Did you know that you can add it to your water?

Does the body type theory work in these cases? Well, knowing that you’re a pear or an apple is useful for identifying those exercises that can help you achieve a more proportionate appearance, but focusing more on the upper body or on the legs might not be effective in reducing the belly fat.
